   The first book, though short, is very rich and engaging. The second has a touch of angst. The third is excellent. The fourth, while not a classic supernatural tale, features a protagonist with a subtle madness, perhaps due to being killed too many times. I haven't read the fifth in a while, so I've forgotten some of the plot. The sixth is similar. The seventh is a bit short, but highly recommended. The last book also has a touch of angst.

   The fourth book, with a scenario that mirrors reality, is very good. The first book, despite its seemingly nonsensical title—I initially thought it was a harem novel, but it's not at all, haha—has a fantastic plot and superb writing. I'm eagerly awaiting the second book. The second book also has a compelling plot; unlike other mindless power-ups in the rule-based supernatural genre, it's not overly complicated. The third book is mainly about Zhao Ge's charismatic personality, haha. I read it a long time ago; he's rather eccentric and arrogant, which I quite like. It's a niche genre within the rule-based supernatural genre.

    Reader note

    Both books are well-written. The first one has a captivating beginning, but the second chapter is rather boring; I had to persevere to get through it. Whether you like stories about national destiny depends on your level of aversion. I personally dislike stories about national destiny, but to a milder degree, and the national destiny aspect of the book is very small, mostly appearing in the earlier chapters, so it didn't bother me much. The second book, in contrast to the previous one, focuses more on emotions, which I personally enjoy. However, halfway through, I encountered a setting I disliked, making it unbearable to continue, so I had to give up. I've kept this book on my bookshelf ever since; it's definitely worth reading.

45. 45 规 Rule Horror: The Eighth Rule 规则怪谈：第八条规则 Fantasy D幻想DMystery368k WordsOngoing A convenience store on a stormy night. A six-hour survival game. Seven rules were posted on the wall. I saw an eighth. While everyone else struggled to survive by the rules, I saw the truth in them. When the rule-based horror descended into reality, ordinary people couldn’t see it, but I could: The public rules, the hidden rules, even the “things” behind them. They said clearing the game meant you’d live. I said you had to see the rules before you could choose how to live. Choice is power. 1Reads—Score—Shelves

The protagonist’s golden finger, called the “Hunger,” is an abnormal organ lodged between Gu Wang’s stomach and his shadow.

These imprints can strengthen the body, attach to objects, or be combined with lies to create short-lived false rules. Its evolution path is 6Reads—Score—Shelves

    Three months' rent arrears, and now a tenant who only drinks milk has entered his stomach. Gu Wang works the night shift at a funeral home, unfazed by ghosts, and eager to get his wages.
